We weren't talking about "Merry Christmas", we were talking about you getting the "warm fuzzies" when people get offended over racist symbols.

I'm sure there are some idiots that want to do away with Thanksgiving. It doesn't mean as a whole people want to do away with the Holiday; irregardless of politics.

Manufacture a problem, claim recognition for a non-solution.

While I am not a religious person, I still appreciate when people wish me a "Merry Christmas" and I return the sentiment. It is the intent and thought that counts. These days, every little offering of best wishes should be appreciated.

People who get upset over stupid things should just stay at home. People who react to such stupid things that others do should also just stay home. When my children whine over stupid stuff I put them into their corner.. sad that we should treat adults in the same manner.

If you think that to celebrate Thanksgiving you must enjoy a turkey, you missed the whole intent of the holiday.

Thanksgiving is a non-religious holiday for Americans to celebrate the bounty Native Americans shared with the Pilgrims. It is all about being thankful for the food that you have and sharing with others, which includes Soup Kitchens for those far less fortunate. Nothing political about it.

When we lived in Florida, our next door Snowbird neighbors were British citizens. They did not celebrate Thanksgiving, but did wish us a Happy Thanksgiving.

Or that immigrants invading America, and murdering tens of thousands of Americans, would be accepted as honorabl !

Oh wait! That is what Thanksgiving is about!

Trump lives in a fantasy world.
I know people who want to have it outright banned. Saying it's offensive to Native Americans. But it's just more of the crazy leftists who are hell bent on destroying the USA in ever which way they can.

Unlike the crazy religious thinking that destroyed the First Nations people when they invaded their territories?
